Wizard: I Can Extract Everything

"Master Wizard!"

Hal and Jimmy couldn't help themselves.

Although there are more wizards on the Old Land Continent than in the Forgotten Land, the overall base is there, plus they live in different regions from mortals, and the information channels in this world are still very underdeveloped, etc.

Due to various factors, wizards are still like myths and legends in the eyes of mortals, and most people have never even seen a wizard in their entire lives.

At this moment, such a legend really appeared in front of them, and of course the two young soldiers could not control their emotions.

Heath raised his hand and repeated it again: "Are you from Riden City?"

The yellow-haired Hal hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, sir."

"It was Lord Earl who asked us to wait for you here. He was worried that you were not familiar with the road, so he specially arranged for us to pick you up to go to Ridden City. This is our coat of arms, you can take a look."

Howl lifted the leather armor to reveal the crest lining the chest.

Heath has extracted the heraldic knowledge of the surrounding nobles in the library, including Ridden City.

After two glances, he confirmed that this was indeed the kite coat of arms of Ridden City.

Heath nodded: "In that case, let's hit the road."

"Yes, sir, please come with me."

"Jimmy, hurry up, you go back first, go and inform Lord Earl, and tell him Lord Wizard is here!"

"We are saved!"

...

Lideng City is a human city in the northern part of the dark forest. It belongs to the Kingdom of Xilan among the sixteen kingdoms in the forest. Because it is close to the cross forest, the transportation hub, there are caravans coming here all year round to supply supplies, and the commerce and trade are very developed.

A few days later, Li Dengcheng, the city gate.

The tall gates were open, and the heavy drawbridge was lowered.

On both sides of the suspension bridge, aristocrats with a single pole stood in two rows, wearing long gowns, stockings, and walking sticks, neatly dressed and respectful as if they were waiting for some distinguished guests.

Anyone who is familiar with the coat of arms of the nobles of the Sheeran Kingdom will be shocked. The Haysen family, the Joy family, the Ed family... Including the lord of Ridden City, the Count of Croa, Rideng City has a little reputation. The nobles were all present.

Who is worthy of such pomp and circumstance?

The mystery will soon be revealed.

"Da da da..." A hoof sounded.

In the distant wheat field, I vaguely saw a figure, it was a young man, riding a white horse and wearing a gray-black cloak.

The horses hoofs burst through the wheat fields, traversed the creek, and crossed the small stone bridge... The wind seemed to pick up the wind during the walk, which drove the windmill on the mill to rotate slowly, and the gray cloak danced with it.

Soon, the white horse came close, and the boy on the horse turned over and dismounted.

But at this moment, the nobles of Ridenburg all straightened their waists, put on a pleasing look, and went up to them.

"Master Wizard!" Everyone saluted in unison.

The dusty Heath first adjusted his cloak, then raised his hand and said to the nobles: "I am the middle apprentice Heath of the Tower of Shadows, I heard that there is trouble here, who will tell me the details Case?"

A middle-aged man in his 40s walked out. This was the lord of Lideng City, Count Croa: "Master Wizard, I have prepared a dinner party for you. Let's eat and talk."

Heath looked up at the sky, and it was indeed getting late, so he nodded and said, "Alright."

At the dinner table, Heath learned the story.

Everything has to start with the Cross Forest.

Cross Forest is a forest outside Lideng City. It is located at a traffic intersection. Caravans traveling from south to north must pass through here. It is an absolute traffic road.

But a few months ago, a strange thing happened in the Forest of Crosses.

An inexplicable layer of red mist filled the forest.

Since the red fog appeared, strange things have happened in the whole forest. Some people heard the cry of a woman in the forest, some people lost their way and disappeared for no reason, and so on.

Count Croa has organized many investigations into the forest but found nothing. In the end, he could only arrange soldiers to escort the caravan.

Although it was said that the situation improved when there were soldiers escorting, but there were so many caravans going from south to north, and the soldiers in Rideng City were limited, so it was impossible to take care of every caravan.

And once the soldiers left or the numbers were small, strange things happened.

For a while, people were panicked, and the surrounding caravans dared not go here again.

Li Dengcheng relies on these caravans for food. Once the caravan stops, the whole city will suffer. Seeing that the hungry people are about to rebel, he has no choice but to bring a letter to the Tower of Shadows for help.

After listening to Count Croa's description, Heath wondered, "How long has this been the case?"

Earl Croa said: "It has been more than three months since the red mist first appeared, my lord."

Heath picked up the spoon and pointed outside: "Is it that forest? I didn't seem to see fog inside when I came."

Earl Croa smiled bitterly: "That's a random adult, sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't."

After a pause, he sighed and said, "Every time I organize a large group into the forest, it will be very calm, but once my knight and I leave, strange things start to happen in the forest."

He angrily knocked on the table: "What the hell is this monster!"

A noble next to him tugged at the placket of his clothes, and he realized that he was still entertaining distinguished guests. He quickly said, "I'm sorry."

However, Heath ignored the earl, and he was already lost in thought.

There are many things in the wizarding world that can emit red mist, plants, animals, and even certain minerals.

However, from the description of Count Croa, this thing should have appeared suddenly, so most of it will only be alive and active, and it is likely to be a demonized creature from a land of elements.

It should have a certain wisdom, know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, only attack weak travelers and caravans and deliberately avoid regular troops.

But this also shows that its strength is very limited...

Suddenly, Heath seemed to think of something.

He asked, "Your Excellency just said that the people who disappeared because of the red mist are all men, is that true?"

The count nodded: "So far, it is like this."

Heath narrowed his eyes.

He seems to have an answer.

Soon, he made a decision: "In this way, help me arrange..."

...

A few days later, Forest of Crosses.

"Gulugulu~" The sound of the wheels turning reverberated in the forest.

A convoy was walking slowly on the muddy trail.

The team is small, with seven or eight people, all male, half of them are disabled persons with physical disabilities and elderly people, and there are only three young people.

Two trains of pallets carry several large wooden boxes, which look like an ordinary caravan.

Walking in the middle of the convoy, Heath kept an eye on the surroundings.

This convoy was arranged by him in the name of trafficking in goods.

Each of the members was personally selected by Heath. Except for him and the two apprentice knights, the rest were weak ordinary people who didn't even know his arrangements.

If his judgment isn't wrong, there's a good chance that a team like them will attract that thing.

"Huh? So... what's that?"

"Fog? It's foggy!"

"What's the matter? Why is it still foggy when the sun is out?"

"Red, this fog is red!"

"Shit... Shouldn't there really be ghosts..."

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion among the crowd.

However, I saw a layer of fog spreading out of the forest for no reason.

That fog, red.

Heath raised his eyebrows: Here we go!
